Ballinahown FC

FT: Palmerstown FC 0 - 1 Ballinahown FC

It’s Cathal Mannion’s birthday and we asked him what he wants for it? He said last 32 of the FAI Junior Cup and we couldn’t say no.

With depleted numbers, the lads put in a serious shift to get this one over the line. A bad head injury in the first half made us use our only sub earlier than planned. That didn’t phase the lads and they stuck to the game plan until the end.

In the 82nd minute, Eoin Monaghan never gave up on a ball he had no right to win, pulling it back across to the box which was picked up by Ciarán O’Reilly who smashed it into the roof of the net. A good defensive effort seen it through for us.

We play Forth Celtic from Wexford in the next round away. Fixture to be announced.

Well done lads! 💪

It’s June and our senior team’s season is not over just yet. Round 1 National of the FAI Junior Cup awaits with an away trip to Palmerstown FC in Dublin.

Just 64 teams are left in the competition and this is the furthest our lads have gotten in recent years.

Good luck to the lads and try to get out to support them.
